Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Stone Handy at pick No. 201 is 117 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bassa. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 1 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached into another round for Darien Porter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at the 91st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 127 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 135th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jackson Slater reach pick 174 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at slot 181 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick201 Rnd6 Stone Handy
Value said wait; Stone Handy in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They barely believed it either: Tyler Cooper still on the board at No. 207. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 6, Pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in pick No. 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
